Thanks! I ended up at $45,700. Probably could've gotten it a little lower, but they had to search to find one with the exact color/packages I wanted. I know that hurts negotiating power.
I am looking into purchasing my first BMW with the following:
2013 BMW X3 28i Deep Sea Blue Metallic Oyster Nevada Leather Silver Matte Trim Panoramic Moonroof Rear View Camera
I started to email local dealers and so far the best price I've received is: MSRP for this vehicle is $39,995. The selling price would be in the $37,125 range
Is this a good deal? I just sold my car so I won't be trading in.
Building the car out as you described, it looks like the MSRP would be $39,633, with an invoice on that car looks like it's around $38,500 as per Edmunds, so that looks like a great deal, apparently over a $1000 under invoice..
I honeslty do not know where did you get MSRP for that config for 39,995 ?
I just built it on bmwusa.com and this is what I get:
BASE MSRP $38,500 Deep Sea Blue Metallic $550 Oyster Nevada Leather $1,450 Silver Matte Trim $0 Panoramic moonroof $1,350 Park Distance Control $750 (you have to get this with Rear-view camera) Rear-view camera $400 Destination & Handling: $895
TOTAL MSRP AS BUILT $43,895
Based on truecar.com invoice for this car is $40,595 so if you can get it for $37,125 I would jump on it but make sure you got all config prices correct, because it seems to be missing something.
Also I would highly recommend Brushed Aluminum Trim which cost nothing for 2013 and looks much better than plastic and add Xenon headlights - they look phenomenal with LED angel eyes.
The dealer gave me that MSRP figure. The price does seem low to me. I replied to the dealer to confirm and I'm waiting for his response. From the feedback it sounds like if the price is correct, I should be running down to the dealership to sign on the dotted line! Thanks everyone. I will be back with an update.
Anyone have experience with the X3 19" wheels with M sport package. Dealer offering tire and wheel protection package and I am debating the value of the $1100 'insurance'. Have searched BMW forums on this topic and it seems majority of folks are opting not to buy this protection. Any current perspectives welcome. Thanks.
The M sport package has been watered down lately, it does not add the extra sport suspension as it has in the past, to me save the money and just get the Sport activity package, this comes with the sport seats which are very comfortable. Stay away fro the Wheel Protection package, that is $1100 you do not need to speed, just a money maker for the dealer.
go to edmunds/here & build the car here-not BMWusa and print out that INVOICE!!! price & deal from there,period. As already said here you should start @ ~$300 over invoice to $500,. Watch the dealer fees as they are too high some places. If you finance the deal with BMW thats a holiday credit,then if in a BMW bow-loyalty credit,then if a vet ask for USAA discount of 1,000 to 1,250 & if recent grad then college cred too. You can buy it anywhere -they do the paperwork only- & take delivery @ SC BMW center. Or you can buy from inventory & hope for the best which will be + you pay more time! Your in Boston?-try "Z" @ Spring Valley, NY for a deal?
Alpine White Black Leatherette Brushed Aluminum Trim Rear View Camera & Park Distance Control Xenon Headlights
MSRP:$41,445.00 Sale Price: $39,445
Less the $1,000 holiday cash for financing with BMW brings me to $38,445 before taxes, fees etc.
Is this a good deal? My thought is that I can get a better APR using my bank/credit union, but then i lose the $1000 rebate. I'm thinking I could possibly get an additional $1000 off the MSRP if im using BMW for financing, bringing the total to around $37,445. Any insight/advice?
Spent a Lot of time shopping and finally settled on new 2013 X3 28i with Mineral Silver and Oyster interior. My USAA discount on MSRP of $49,195 was $3410. Thats 7% off MSRP. Costco has a discount of $1000 over invoice.
Got a similar deal. $750 over invoice for an xDrive35i minus the $1000 USAA discount and the $1000 Holiday discount. Downside? I am waiting for the factory to assemble it... :-(
Not much of a wait since it is built here in the US.... BTW, did you ask the dealer about taking delivery of it at the factory and go through the driving school that is offered?
I asked the Ann Arbor dealer about driving school. He was unaware of the program for US-Built vehicles. He was going to get back with me but must have forgot.. :-) We found a vehicle in the Idaho and having it shipped here. Should arrive early next week. Wanted to close transaction before year end for tax purposes. Would have loved to doing the driving school thing though. Can we still do that if not ordering?
Dealer said that if I ordered a custom built X3 from the factory (they didn't have what I was looking for on the lot) I could not get the holiday discount for $1000 as it would not arrive by January 3 2013 after which the discount would expire. Sounds backwards to me, as I would pay for the car with a deposit? Is this valid or a sales tactic to get me to buy something on the lot?
Dealer has a 2012 X3 XDrive35i with 12,500miles on it. It is full loaded. Original MSRP is $55,000. They offer me $42,500. Is this a good deal? It seems only save me $6,000 from a new car.
Have got two quotes from different Bay Area dealers- both prices are $500 over invoice. This is before I negotiate- seems like getting it at invoice (before any holiday discounts) should be possible for December.
From Edmunds, 2013 X3 28i, cold weather + premium + tech, MSRP: $46,745, Invoice: $43,000. Seems to me that you can buy this car at invoice or even below invoice now
Dealer claims the invoice price published on edmunds.com is lower than the real invoice. They added a $400 advertising (maco) and a $180 fee for "training". They agreed to sell at invoice but "their invoice". They said all BMW dealers in the Bay Area would charge the same cost. Is this a legitimate add-on?
Premium pkg, premium sound, cold weather pkg and deep sea blue metallic paint: Per Edmunds, MSRP $45,045; Invoice $41,455; dealer added MACO $300 and Training fee $180 to the invoice for a total invoice of $41,935. I gave the dealer a profit of $500. Price paid $42,435 less $1000 for financing $8,000 (the financing will add $11.52 per month until paid off after 6 months). The sales person said that the Edmunds invoice is too low since the invoice is 93% of MSRP. She was wrong. It's 92%. When they add in the non-discounted delivery fee plus MACO and training, then it works out to 93%.

IMHO you got a good price. There is one thing though. The base price MSRP is correct while the invoice that you paid is $320 high. This represents the price increase for 2013. The new MSRP is $38,850 and an invoice of $35,740. Adding up your list came to $41,951. You showed $42,271. There's the $320 increase! The base invoice that you should have paid was $35,420. So you paid $719 over invoice but invoice includes MACO and the training charges. The MACO charge varies but the training charge is always $180. So if the MACO was $300 then your invoice would be $41,951+300+180=$42,431. OTD price $42,670-$42,431=$239 dealer profit. A good deal. BTW MACO and training are not part of MSRP. The extra $320 should be questioned if you ordered in 2012. Good luck.
Placed order for an X3 on November 26. Per BMW, the vehicle is not yet in production and no date set for production. I'm located in Northeast.
I saw the earlier post regarding a fire at the Spartanburg factory...wondering if that had an impact on production schedule. Wondering in general about the overall timeline of production...is 4+ weeks normal for production to begin?
I confirmed with another person that he placed the order on 12/10 and the car was at the dealer yesterday. You need to find out why yours is not in yet.
I do have a production number. Have been pinging the BMW website to 'track' my order...website is a waste of time.
I contacted customer service via email and was told it was 'scheduled for daily production pack' on December 27th. I assumed that meant production was iminent, but subsequent inquiries and 'no production date scheduled'.
I figured folks here might have some insight...I was not mistaken. I will make call today regarding allocation.
This is my first experience in trying to buy a BMW and unfortunately it's not going well. I can't get a dealer to call me back or to come off MSRP when I try to talk to them about price. This is in Florida. We went back to the dealership and wanted to test drive the car again. We went to the same salesperson we saw the first time and he completely blew us off. I'm getting fed up. Can anyone recommend a dealership in Florida that is easy to deal with? If it was up to me I'd buy another make of car altogether.

No Maco fee in my areas so with holiday cash $550 below invoice. I could have pushed a bit more but it was not worth the few hundred bucks.
Let me know what you think, thanks.
Now is the anticipations for waiting.
The dealer then charges $250 for doc fees and another $50 or so for temp tags, and some other bs charges.
I saw the earlier post regarding a fire at the Spartanburg factory...wondering if that had an impact on production schedule. Wondering in general about the overall timeline of production...is 4+ weeks normal for production to begin?
I'm curious what others are experiencing. Thx.
I know folks that have ordered the car earlier in November and they got the car last week.
If he does, ask him what's up, and why your car isn't in production..

I'm sure the holidays have delayed it a bit.... just surprised yours didn't get in well before that...
I'd try calling customer service, rather than resort to e-mail...

IF this isn't up to you, then who is it? If not one wants to sell you a BMW, then go off any buy something else.
